For those who have not noticed ...Cold & Dark = Overweight

[Guest Ray_CYYZ]

The default cold and dark PMDG flight actually starts with the aircraft exceeding it's maximum weights in FS9, which in turn will cause you some headaches as far as how the plane responds...Dump some fuel or PAX from the default config and you'll find life a lot smoother.Ray

I'd also like to mention that the cold and dark flight starts with the engines running on my setup. No instruments etc. are showing, but the engines are running.Better to start a flight with the C172 running, then shut down that one and change aircraft.Regards,Bj
